Choose Your Idea Carefully - Hopefully You Have Many...

I normally post about inventors who have arrived at an idea from their knowledge of what exists, creating something useful from natural laws and out of necessity, but today I want to share some thoughts. I believe that one of the greatest joys in life is having these ideas and being able to articulate them. It is another question as to whether one should venture to act upon them.  The journey to get there is not a joyful one – though I do believe the journey, and victories along the way, are the most fulfilling times (filled with achievement) - offset by what often seem to be insurmountable obstacles. Wow, incredible to overcome those!

We filter through many ideas in our daily activities, and then, when one sticks (the epiphany), and we can't get it out of our head, we execute upon it...for better or for worse, in richness and in poorness. Inventors, choose your path carefully!
